Shipment Status Setup

MoversSuite Administration > Operations > Shipment Status

Use this setup to define the values available for the Shipment Status field within Order Information. The Shipment Status can be set manually through MoversSuite and it can be set automatically through downloads from various external sources, such as Atlas, SIRVA STS, and UniGroup, defined within the Interface Item section.

Field

Description

Provide a name for the Shipment Status record (up to 64 characters). This value is available when setting the Shipment Status through the Set Shipment Status dialog.

Key Date

Set the date type used to determine the actual date of the Shipment Status History record when imported into MoversSuite.

Note: The Key Date references imported records and may or may not match what is stored for the order in MoversSuite.

If the Key Date is not specified, the application uses the current system date as the status date.

The following Key Date types are available:

IMPORTANT: Key dates are only used in Shipment History. They do not update any information on a MoversSuite order.

Key Date Type	Description
Assigned to Load	Set the status record date to the Assigned to Load date from an import. This date corresponds to the Assigned On Date managed within the Other tab in Move Information.
Delivered to Residence	Set the status record date to the Delivered to Residence date from an import. This date corresponds to the Actual Delivery managed within the Actual tab in Move Information.
Delivered to Warehouse	Set the status record date to the Delivered to Warehouse date from an import. This date corresponds to the Actual Delivery managed within the Actual tab in Move Information.
Destination SIT Out	Set the status record date to the Destination SIT Out date from an import. This date corresponds to the SIT to Perm Date managed within the Destination section in SIT/Recurring Billing.
ETA	Set the status record date to the ETA date from an import. This date corresponds to the Estimated Time of Arrival managed within the Other tab in Move Information.
Loaded	Set the status record date to the Loaded date from an import. This date corresponds to the Load Date managed within the Actual tab in Move Information.
Origin SIT Out	Set the status record date to the Origin SIT Out date from an import. There is no corresponding date in MoversSuite.
Set-off	Set the status record date the current system date.

This setting only affects the date when the record is imported; the application ignores this setting when the status is manually set through Set Shipment Status.

Set Order Status To

When the Shipment Status changes to what is set for this record, then the application can also update the Order Status to what is set in this field. Of note, when an Order Status Setup record has been marked inactive, it is no longer available as an option within the dropdown for this field.

Refer to the MSS Order Status field description in Order-Level Functions and to Order Status for more information.
